Andrews of the State Geological
Survey of Ohio, made a thorough
examination of the mineral re-
sources in this section and from his
official report we quote the follow
ing:
The principal seam of coal at no
point east of Twelve Pole is found
too thin for profitable working; it
generally ranges about 5 #. in thick
ness, and often attains thickness
of over 6 feet; these measurements
are of the coal of the best quality,
exclusive OF slate partings. IL IS
cery unusual TO ind a seam of
coal ertending ocer as large an
area, OF so uRifoym a thickness
and OF so fnc a quality"
In the same report Prof. Andrews
says the camel coal is everywhere
excellent and pure" ard adds:
The valleys of the Twelve Pole
cut through the plane of the coal in
such way as to lay it open for the
most easy aud advantageous
mining"

Prof. Andrews on Our Ship
ping Advantages.

The following concerning our
proximity 10 good markets for raw
material, and excellent shipping
facilities by the Ohio river, is also
taken from Prof. Andrews report:
There are two considerations
which affect all shipments of coal
by the Ohio; one is the prox.
unity to the great lower market
and the ether, freedom from the
impcdimcnts of navigation by low
water and by sand bars.
In regard to the former the Tw elve
Pole coal is put upon the river at n
point one hundred and fifty. four
miles above Cincinnati and three
hundred and thirteen miles below
Pittsburg. AS very large portion
of the supply of Cincinnati, Louis.
vile and the cities of the lower
Mississippi come from the Monon-
gahela and loughiogheny rivers at
points some distance above Pitts.
burg, it will be seen that there is a
vast saving Of distance in river
transportation. The saving OF dis.
lance has its highest significance
and value in the great saving of
time, so that shippers can make three
trips with their tow boats TO Gin.

miners can make but one.''

Building Sites,

Not the least attractive advant.
age of this town are the numerous
desirable sites for building and
manufacturing purposes. These are
cheaper, too, than can be had in
neighboring towns. Manufacturers
can obtain ground here for their
mills as well as for the purpose OF
dividing up into small lots for their
employees, at about one-half the
price asked in towns near us on
either side Of the Ohio river. In
fact, in order to encourage the loca-
ton ofindustrial concerns here, own.
ers Of desirable manufacturing sites
offer them at merely nominal sum.
On the rising ground stretching for
miles along the river are most de.
lightful sites for residences which
in the event Of large manufacturing
concerns locating here, could be
utilized for the erection thereon Of
dwellings for the employees. Right
in the midst Of abundant raw mate.
rial, manufacturers will find here
cheap ground for their works and
have equal shipping facilities with
large cities and escape the heavy
taxes Of the latter.
Manufacturers and others desiring
further information concerning
building sites should address S. +.
Hoard, Esq, at this place, who holds
a proprietary interest in the land.

In the race. We must not sit idly
by and look on; we must take part In
the contest. Rich as are our min.
eral resources, capital will not come
here to develop them if we do not
reach out and welcome ID. Other
communities possess uhdeveloped
resources and they are advertising
them far and wide, and offering
liberal inducements in the way of
cheap manufacturing sites to bring
capitalists among them. We must
do the same If we would have the
proper appreciation placed upon
our resources and advantages.

desirable increase in population, and
with the increased business activity
thus aroused in every branch Of

Saw Mills.

Ceredo is well known abroad

business done here by Messrs J. ii.
Millender " Co. at their saw and
veneer mills where they manufacture
all kinds Of lumber, cigar box lum.
Der being their specially. These
mills are the largest of the kind in
the country. This firm runs a large

mill and grist mill, the ground
occupied being more than 10 acres.
They employ $50 men, and cut "a, !.
ooo, 900 II. of cigar box lumber and
100000 II. of bill stuff annually.
The cigar box material which this
firm makes a specially, is Of three
kinds, plain poplar, imitation of
cedar and veneered cedar. They
also make thousands Of tobacco
hogsheads, besides shipping much
material for this purpose.
The product Of these extensive
mills is shipped mainly to the east
ern cities, some Of their single or.
ders being very heavy as shown by
the fact that while our reporter was
in their Office the other morning,
their mail came in containing or.
ders for about one. half million feet
Of flumber. A large general store Is
also owned by this firm which does
an average business Of 1926 per

Location and Shipping Facili
ties

Ceredo is located in Wayne coun-
ty, West Virginia, at the junction
of Twelve Pole with the Ohio river,
3l3 miles by water from Pittsburg,
223 from Wheeling and I54 from
Cincinnati. The Big Sandy river
joins the Ohio = miles below. Wayne
county is bounded by Cabell and
Lincoln on the east, Logan on the
south, the Big Sandy river on the
west and the Ohio river on the north.
Wayne county is one Of the richest
in the State, is well watered and
possesses the best quality of timber
and mineral resources in abundance.
The agricultural development of the
county is excellent and is rapidly
improving. In fact our town was
christened when Eli Thayer, the
first proprietor, visited the location
and saw the abundant crops with
which Ceres had laden the land,
and who thought IT a becoming
tribute to the tabled goddess 10 name
the town in her honor, and accord
ingly named it Ceredo. The area of
the county is 440s square miles, with
population of 10000. Our county of
fers very attractive inducements to
manufacturers, farmers, mechanics
and laborers, the location being
such as to favor the callings in
which all these classes are engaged.
The town of Ceredo is especially
well favored as regards location,
being accessible to all the great
Mississippi system Of water routes
by means Of the Ohio, which pass
es our door, and being located also
on the Chesapeake and Ohio Rail
road-now the Newport News and
Mississippi Valley-which is one
of the greatest trunk lines of the
continent, and which affords quick
connection with all points east,
west, north and south.
Charters are in existence and
companies organized for the
construction Of railroads up Twelve
Pole and up the Big Sandy. These
roads will undoubtly be constructed
at an early day as the rich mineral
and timber resources awaiting an
outlet are such that capitalists can
not fail to see the profitable out
come of such an enterprise.
Our location is at the very head
of low water navigation, and can
always be reached by steamboats, and
barges at any stage Of water that
will permit their passage above the
"Four Mile Bar, b" at short distance
above Cincinnati.
